Do Tell: Have You Attended a Wedding with Animals?

Even if you didn't choose to include a pet in your ceremony, have you ever been to a wedding where pets played a role? I'd love to hear all about – from what they wore and did to any disasters, please share how furry friends took part in the big day in your comments below!

In 2004 I was a bridesmaid in a wedding that had the Bride's 12-year old Black Lab, Kez as a participant (sadly, he passed away a year ago). She was originally from London the Dog moved back and forth from the UK to US with her four times. He was her constant companion. He walked down the aisle between two of the bridesmaids. In the program he was listed as "Kez Bear - Dog of Honor". He mingled around all the guests all night too. It was so sweet, it was very natural to have him there, and just felt right, since he was such a part of her life.

My best friend held her wedding at her mom's farm. During the rehearsal her mom's dog was loose and decided that he should walk down the isle too. So right before my friend and her mom walked down, the dog trotted down the middle of the isle. It was perfect and we all had a good laugh. He did go down the isle on wedding day, but this time he was leashed and escorted the bride and her mom (the bride's mother walked her down the isle).

At my parents hippie double wedding in the park (back in the 70's of course ;) ) they had 2 or 3 dogs wandering around the whole time. One memorable photo is of my parents reciting their vows, with dogs laying at their feet. Or next to the priest. Or with the guests (who were lounging in the grass...no chairs!)

yep--just was at one where the flower girl was a dachsund and attended on a few years ago at an animal shelter and not only was the ringbearer a dog, so were many of the guests. everyone was well-behaved in both instances.
